Hello everyone,
I am currently planning my new kitchen and am very glad to have found this forum, as many diverse topics and solutions have already been discussed here.
My question concerns suitable refrigerators for a new Metod kitchen. The following cabinet has been planned:
METOD cabinet tall unit/fridge/oven, white, 60x60x220cm (24x24x87 inches)
Also, the fronts:
1.) Ringhult 60x140cm (24x55 inches) for the upper section
and
2.) RINGHULT 60x80cm (24x31 inches) for the lower section
I am now desperately trying to find a suitable fridge-freezer combination and came across the following Bosch model: Series | 6 KIS87AD40.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer responded that due to incompatible door panel dimensions, the refrigerator is not suitable. I am unable to understand this term, and Google hasn’t really helped me either. Maybe someone here has had similar experience and can share how the cabinet might be adjusted to accommodate the fridge. I would be willing to modify the cabinet slightly if necessary.
Thank you very much for your help and best regards,
Maxim

Well, in my opinion, the door heights don’t really matter. When I installed a refrigerator into a Metod cabinet some time ago, there was a sort of "empty shelf space" below the freezer compartment and a similar empty space above the fridge section. The refrigerator isn’t sitting directly on the cabinet floor but is installed a bit higher so that the doors fit properly. If needed, I can also share a photo of "my work"; I installed the IKEA Rakall refrigerator in that case.
The Metod system includes the appropriate ventilated shelves, which can also be purchased separately if needed.
The ventilation for the plinth/baseboard is available for individual purchase as well.

You just need to make sure that the refrigerator is installed at a height where one door aligns precisely with the top edge of the freezer door and the other aligns with the bottom edge of the fridge section door (or vice versa, depending on the layout). The small to medium "gaps" that result above and below the refrigerator are not very attractive, but they are not a major issue.
